The article on Greek Tragedy, by Mr. CAMPBELT., is executed in the spirit and character of that Poet's sublime taste.

It is not fortified with walls or gates. The 'castle, which is - founded on a rocky elevation, constitutes the most pro minent object, as well as the defence of the town, which it .overlooks with an air of dignity. There is a strong resemblance between this place and Dover, with this exception that the fortifications are not on a scale so formidable. On entering. the, Inn, I was struck with its peculiar, construction, and how nearly it approached to some 'of the convents where had . taken up an abode during my. travels through India. It was the form a a quadrangle, and appeared to have every accommoOtion within itself.

" Love in her bosom survived every thing, even the shock of discovering that he was ungenerous. The habit of loving re ntained, as it is too apt to do for their peace in affectionate hearts, when the reason for it was feared to be imaginary. Love is clung to for its own sake ;—gratitude and sweet memories are too sweet to part with, as long as a doubt and a possibility can be brought in to retain them..

We know not whether the legend of his opening his arrest to receive- her, be agreeable or not, now that hiacharacter is known. Supposing his disposition to remain, it, looks as if he again took possession of his victim. Supposing it to be altered in the profound self-know lexige,of the grave, the.fiction is reconciling and beautiful. One canimagine her to hav e suffered willingly, even fur that mortal acknowledgment. Eloisa and Abelard had an interview, the first after their sepa -1 ration, when she was in her eight-and-twentieth year, and he in his fiftieth. She was yet a blooming and a charming woman, with thoughts never ceasing to revert to , the past ;—he a cold, quern lons, and withered elder. This beats the famous interview be tween the Princess Amelia of Prussia and Baron Trenck; for though the interval Was much greater, and both had grown old, yet it was both that had grown old. There was an equal look in their misfortune.; and they-could sympathise with each other,— What- must have been Moises feeling*, when the cold monk gave her hie; paternal benediction ? " From the latest,end best-informed summary of the adventures of this celebrated pair, we celled three circumstances, which over turn almost all the ordinary Ideas of them ;--firsi, that Abelard *as nearly forty years of age, when Elois.a fell in love with him, she being at the same time but eighteen; second, that all the real love was on her .side, and Abelard a very selfish person ; and third; that her character sittpasseit 'what is thought of it ; not only in point of learning, but in capital good sense s and en exalted heart.

If the man who turnips cries, Cry not when his tither dies, 4 'goof that he had rather Base s twiny than his fathers t I. Abelard was nearly forty Years of age, and Eloisacsghteen. " We are not to wonderthat this. disparity of years was • n o hindranee to Eloisa's fulling in love. Abelard's talents and perSOn were the subject of conversation and curiosity, wherever he went. Ile was handsome, he was renowned, and he wag popular. refen led their wits with him in vain ; women (according to the lypieture drawn by Eloisa) stretched their necks after him, as l , came in and out of rooms. He wrote verso, which were in cry body's mouth, and he set them to music, and sung them. hese verses were in praise of Mins; and in fine, Eloise was I l e yleung, warm-hearted, imaginative, and passionately fond of lite titurek in which Abelard was accounted the greatest master of his tme. A man of forty, with half these pretensions, has been often fetind:tO possess substitutevfor youth, and evert for agreeableness o appearance, in the eyes ,of an:inexperienced girl.

To Furnish them with such helps is a Main o jest of thewOrk we areasow projecting. One of sthemost de-' ✓ ted passions represented in Shakspeare, is that of the: young and lovely Desdemona, for a sable-visaged hero, declined into the vale of years. : This is Italian, and excessive ; but it is the excess of a natural principle. No matter by what the feelings are interested, ptovided they arc interested extremely, and warrant is not, against tern, In the Absence of 'youth; • there lutist be 'young interest'; a4ve.utures, enthusiasm, good-heartedness, a fitness of some sort, an art of rendering life precious. . • , i ' - The gentle lady married to the Moor biheld all these through the black veil of his complexion, and ptrhapa added pity to love,..—a great ,gathaer unto- . fair bosoms; ner did Mr. Wordsw or th lik e h er the less for encouraging so illus trpons an elder.

MONMOUTH, AUG. 1. A circumstance of a very curious nature has - occurred with respect to a prisoner, who is charged with picking a pocket. He was committed to the prison at Usk on the lith instant. A few days ago a young woman arrived at one of the turnpike-gates in the neighbourhood, and, in quiring her way, mentioned the name of a relative, whom phe expected to find there. On her mentioning the name of the person she was seeking, the gatekeeper observed, that a person of that name had got into difficulties, and had been transported. The young woman said she was satisfied that was her relation. You are an Irish girl, said the gate-keeper., 'Yes. Another of your countrymen is in trouble in Usk gaol for picking pockets. What is his name? said the young woman. Wallace. Wallace! Jem Wallace ! he murdered my master in lielatid. The young woman went to Usk; was afforded an opportunity from the top of tht* prison of seeing Wallace with severed 'other prisoners. She immediately picked him out, and has since given a very circumstantial account of an attack upon the house of her master, Colonel Hill, in the neighbourhood of • Cork, and the murder of that gentleman, some years agO . believe as many as four. A communication' has been made to the Irish Government, through Mr. Secre tary Peel, and whatever may be the event of the pending prosecution here, James Wallace will be, detained to wilt the result 'of 'this investigation respecting the imputed murder. , The young 'woman is about 18 years of age. She is at present staying in the House of Correction at Usk. AN OLD FASHIONED MARRIAGE PORTION.- Capt.. John Hull, who was one of the first founders of the Old South Church, Capt. of the AMC. and Hon. Artillery, a Repre sentative of the town, and in 1680 an assistant, was a man of wealth. A daughter of his was married to Major Samuel Sewall. As usual in those days, the father was expected to give his daughter a marriage portion: "So father Hull, after his daughter was completely, and richly too, dressed and prepared for the ceremony, caused her to be put into one side of a large pair of scales, in the presence of her friends, and then piled on, dollars and crowns, silver xitoney, until thcy weighed her down." Report says she was a plump; hearty must have been a fat marriage portion in those days.—Boston NewXLetter, it is a curious fact, that of six Peers of the im perial Parliament, who died since the Spring of Ms, were anti-Catholic, anti-Catholic, and but eneliteral. They were Whitworth, five Craven, and Chichester, Viscount Carleton, Marquess Waterford, atui-Catholic; Earl Donoughmore, liberal. The title of Whit worth is extinct; an the Marquess of Waterford's son, who in herits his title, will not. be of age for six years. This dispropor tion of five to one is the more remarkable, as the numbers in the House of Lords, on both sides, friends and opponents to Emanci pation, if we deduct tie Lords :Spiritual, are pretty nearly ba lanced, the majority of Lay. Lords against Emancipation being in considerable. Farnhain, an' anti-Catholic, succeeds Lord 1.)o-- noughniere ; Mount Cashel!, who will vote for Emancipation, suc ceeds Carleton as Irish Peers. " In ' the new creation of P eers , lately announc ed in the ..London Gazette, there is a majority of one in favour of Emancipation. The death of Lords in the next 'year will probably bear much In the same proportion of liberal [ and illiberal; .as it is ascertained, bra reference to.the published . lists, that the average agea of the anti-Popish Lords are vastly 1 above those on the other side !—Dublin ..iforning Post. APPREHENSION OF A FORMIDABLE BAND OF alintrves.—lncredible as it may appear, a numerous gang of rob bers, w i th the necessary appurtenance of romance, a Cave, has existed at Wickwar, in this county, for m ore th an seven years; during which period, although they have been the terror of the neighbourhood, and have extended their depredations over an extensive tract of country, they have contrived to elude the pry.. ing eye of justice. Last vreea, however, its. consequence of some aeapi e ieui circumstances, the police were induced to pay a visit to I ate Common where they took into custody an old man o f t h e mune of Mills, his wife, and their four sons ; and immediately after their a pprehension, these persons disclo se d the history of the lawless community with which they wire connected. The whole gang is supposed to have amounted to 40 or 50, of which another we understand thirty-one men and Women have b een apprehended. It appears, that, connected with a kitchen in old Mill's house, on Vote ()pennon, these well-organised bandits had constructed a subterranean' cave or storehouse, the entrance to which was behind the finsplace, where the soot and a large pot effectually , prevented die slightest suspicion • and in , this . . cavil' - the , o ffi cer s found t wenty s id es of bacon, quantities of cloth, wheat, barley, oats, malt, ch eese , t wo bedsteads and 401. chiefly in half-crown piectsp;-..The a c counts which h ave reached us of the . depredations of the gang almost al -1 ceed belief._ It has been no uncommon thing fora fanner to rise in the morning, an d find t h e greater pert of his furniture, fat Fir, poultry, cheese, tic. swept away; and the cave or depository for the stolen goods was so well contrived, that all search for the Prpl'ertY was invariably made in vain. --Besides the family of Mills, a man of the name of Garliner, his wife, and two sons, are in custody.

All fortresses indeed, situated on the frontiers of provinces, becamehighly interesting to travellers, since these are marked as the theatre where the valour of heroes, their military knowledge, and Skill In the use of arma, have been signally displayed during all ages. This particular spot, however, will be handed down in the page of history as ever memorable, from the tragical catastrophe that oc curred in the case of Charles XII. who had fallen in an invasion of this country in 1718. The town is remarka blYneet, and the population upwards of 4,000. The streets are paved, and clean. The houses are diminutive, built of wood, one and two stories in height, and painted in diffe rent colours. They have Chimnies of brick, roofed with tile, and extended wooden steps are in front of the princi- Pel entrances, with enormous lamps, quite out of propor tion to the size of the houses, and supported by grotesque figures, which aro more adapted for being placed over the gateways of castles. In many of the houses is to be found one particular article which is serviceable for different pur poses. This is similar in form of a trunk with a back to it, which is occupied as a seat or sofa during day, and can also supply the place of a table. On lifting up the seat, I found a considerable depth . underneath , it stuffed with clothes. These. are spread over the seat at night, which is thus converted' into a proper bed; an expedient that re minds us of the observation of the Poet : The drawers contrivtd a double debt to pay; A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day. There is a considerable trade carried on in the export of wood. Many, articles ere sold here, the manufacture of England and Scotland; but, judging from the extent of sales, a preference seems to be given to goods made in Caledonia. Provisions are plenty; and no better proof can be given of this, than that a family, consisting of 12 persons, may make a plentiful dinner upon fish, and the expenee of it would not exceed twopence sterling ! The English costume appears most prevalent among the na tives. The dress of females is different from those in Sweden; and the lower orders of both sexes walk about without shoes, or stockings, like .the natives of ..the heath covered mountains; of Scotia, and Wear a litiriped drug get dress,• , Many attain a,: great age; and it is mentioned as a remarkable fact, that at an entertainment given to Christian the Sixth and his consort on their visit here, there were four - married peasants who merrily danced before their Majesties, of whom none were under one hundred 'years. All too lived several years afterwarda, 'so that their longevity extended far beyond the period prescribed by the Psalmist.* This protracted age I am strongly inclined to think must be at tributed chid' , to that temperature, and moderation in all things which It is our duty to observe, and is so highly conducive to the powers both of mind and body, ensures tranquillity of soul, lathe best guardian of youth, and sup port of old age. It is not -indeed long since I, was in formed, as a proof of the argument m support of this cardinal virtue, that one half ( I f those Quakers born in America obtain. the. age of 47, whereas, of the general po- pulation of the City o£ London One-half that are born onlylive 23 } years. Among the Quakers one in ten arrives at 80 years, and of the population of London one in 40. observe The rule of not too much, by temperance fraught, ' • in what thou eat'st and driuk'st, seeking from thence Due nourishment, not gluttinous delight. Jews are prohibited from taking up a residence here. The castle is also appropriated for slaves, whose punishment is in proportion to the nature and extent of their offence. Their dress is a close bodied coat ; small clothes of a brown, and another of a white colour, coarse, without sleeves, and a white worsted night cap. Iron rings were attached to their legs. During the period of the Romans, indeed, we find that slaves were distinguished by their wearing a particular dress, consisting of clothes of a darkish colour, hence the term Vettis servals. Seine of them had iron collars, with a piece of iron in an upright form attached to them about one foot in length a'ad an inch in thickness, in the view of distinguishing them as incorrigible , offenders. Among other regulations, it is enacted that in case of a person repeating an act of theft three times, he is liable to be punished as all are during the same number of years.

Verdict, Guilty.--Sentence—Transportation f or life. William Thames: was indicted for wilfully setting fire to his house, with intent to defraud the landlord, the Earl of Abergavenny. Mr. Watson stated the MC for the prosecution. The constable was then called, who apprehended the prisoner by his wife's desire, while he was trying to rescue his little furniture from the flames, which he declared be had himself kindled to be revenged upon his wife, who had complained of his violent conduct when drunk on the night in question. The constable described the house, as it was called in the indictment, to be a wretched thatched hut or hovel, with one apartment, or enclosed place, much inferior to the general plan of cow-sheds. Mr. Justice laurrough said that there was hardly sal• cient evidence to show this building to have been a house. Mr. Watson concurred in the insufficiency of the evi. &nee. A verdict of acquittal was pronounced, and the Learned Judge admonished ,the prisoner to avoid a similar offence in future. lie tan the risk of being hanged if he set fire to his landlord's house, because he Could not agree with his wife. It ought, however, to be a warning to him how he drank to excess, for it was the influence of liquor which had first caused the quarrel, and then the burning of the place. hip c ab i m i ta L limi s cir m o s ju . cs i ip i lro l , e s tis ee : ti w othep l' i : an % one of them, A' d xp r:a A d vl iz::evi.
